JAKARTA - The Muamalat Institute and the Indonesia Islamic Global Market Association (IIGMA) are said to have just organized this treasury dealer competency certification program in an online format.

Chairman of IIGMA Budi Kurniawan said this program always provides updates and the latest developments to competency certificate holders.

"The activities we organize aim to ensure compliance with the requirements set out in the guidelines, standards or certification schemes," he said in an official statement, Tuesday, September 28.

Budi added that competency certificate holders must be able to follow the latest developments and update technical and managerial aspects in the Treasury sector.

“One of the main tasks of a banking dealer in the treasury unit is managing assets and liabilities as well as bank liquidity. Dealers also make transactions in the financial market, be it the money market, bonds or debt securities and foreign exchange to earn profits," he said.

On the same occasion, the Executive Director of the Muamalat Institute, Anton Hendrianto, said that this maintenance program was held to expand the competency certificate in the Treasury Dealer field which has a validity period of three years.

According to Anton, banks are expected to include every bank manager and official who is required to have a Treasury Dealer certificate in the regular maintenance program.

"A person who already has a competency certificate issued by the LSPP is expected to take part in the maintenance program," he said.

Anton also explained that the pandemic situation made his party encourage the improvement of HR competencies to support sharia business growth. This is because investment in the Islamic market and Islamic banking is believed to continue to increase and be promising.

"We will continue to support conventional banks that will transform into Islamic banking. This is so that Islamic banking can become an important pillar in Indonesian banking," concluded Anton.
